I wouldn't back a buzzword that doesn't bring anything new to the table.
Damnmit! I just invested all my monopoly motels in the buzz-market!
There are always people who want things to remain as they always were, so they don't have to ever change or adapt to new things. But time moves on regardless.
But why are these people all on slashdot? isn't this a geek site?
Since we all seem to posting what we want...
I want multiplayer games. CS is still my number 1 game, although I plan on giving Mechwarrior a crack.
The last one player game I played was Fallout3, finished it on goody-to-shoe and never bothered again. And I love that game.
Multiplay has the random human element; even in CS on good ol' dust2, people do wierd things. Games AI will never match the entertainment value of chatty, bored online players, although an epic story/graphic can match that of a decent movie.
Damn, I was hoping that joke wasn't taken...
Bullshit!
Telstra in Australia still screws Aussies with "their" network they built while being a Government company 100 years ago!

But then, the people on top may have different ideas then you as to what defines an "unnecessary foreign entanglement"
Very true, and the debt was repaid by accepting a giant statue of some chick, then sending soldiers to help the revolution in France.
Someone ought to remind China of what the US does to people it owes money to...
Just like to point out that WW1 started because of hundreds of years of scheming, conflicts and personal vendettas of various European royal families.
The scale of the war was so much larger because the countries had so much more money to spend or the war, courtesy of the colonies, but the war was not about the economy.
I too once received a knighthood:
"Dear Sir....
I am writing you on behalf of the exile king of
In exchange for this great honor, we would like you to help with releasing the frozen accounts of the king, by allowing a small sum to pass through your account
Hey, I've got one of those too!
We should find some peasants and start a crusade!
I find it interesting that everybody is up in arms over this filter, and ready to vote Liberal second last; yet the Liberal party is ready to scrap the NBN, setting Australia's broadband infrastructure back another 3 years...
